A Vistara flight from Mumbai to Frankfurt was diverted to Turkey's Erzurum Airport on September 6, 2024, due to a bomb threat discovered on a tissue paper in the aircraft's lavatory. The flight, carrying 247 passengers and crew, landed safely, and all passengers were evacuated while authorities conducted a thorough search. The bomb threat was later determined to be false. Vistara confirmed the diversion on their X platform and emphasized their commitment to passenger safety. The incident caused significant inconvenience and financial cost to the airline. Authorities have initiated an investigation, including a handwriting analysis, to identify the perpetrator of the hoax.
